This repository provides examples of a Fibonacci series function implemented in a range of languages. Build files for popular build tools for each language are also provided as are examples of unit tests written in popular unit test frameworks for each language. These examples are provided to help you get started with using automated build tools and unit test frameworks. They are also used to provide an introduction to the popular continuous integration servers, Jenkins and Travis CI.
Examples using the following languages, build tools and unit test frameworks are provided. Click on README for information on how to build, run and test each example:
| Language | Build tool | Unit test framework | README |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bash Shell | - | - | README |
| Python | - | nose | README |
| Java | ANT | JUnit | README |
| C | Make | CUnit | README |
| C++ | Make | CppUnit and googletest | README |
| Fortran | Make | FRUIT | README |
| PHP | - | PHPUnit | README |
| R | - | testthat | README |
Continuous integration can help you to build and test your software regularly. This, in turn, can help you to demonstrate that your software does what it claims to do, and that it does so correctly. It also helps you to rapidly release bug-fixes and up-to-date versions of your software. Continuous integration can also be used to automate experiments that are run using software. For an overview, see The Software Sustainability Institute's How continuous integration can help you regularly test and release your software.
Jenkins
Jenkins is a popular, open source continuous integration server, which you can deploy locally. For an introduction to Jenkins, using the Fibonacci series examples in a range of languages, see:
- Getting started with Jenkins. The walkthrough assumes you have installed the software required to build and test the Fibonacci series examples (or, at least, that needed by the language you are interested in).
Travis CI
Travis CI is a hosted continuous integration server, which provides automated build and test services for projects hosted on GitHub. For an introduction to Travis CI, using the Fibonacci series examples, in a range of languages, see:
For an overview of hosted continuous integration, see The Software Sustainability Institute's Hosted continuous integration.
